FARGO (KFGO) – A Grand Forks man was sentenced to 13 years in federal prison Monday in U.S. District Court in Fargo.
Michael Allen Otto, 45, was sentenced for Possession of Stolen Firearms and Assaulting a Federal Agent. In addition to prison time, Otto will have three years of probation, and will pay over $2,700 in restitution for damages to vehicles.
Otto led law enforcement on a high-speed chase following a traffic stop on September 15, 2023. Officers found two stolen guns in his vehicle. In July 2024, a warrant was issued for Otto after he violated the terms of his pretrial release. When officers and FBI agents tried to arrest him, Otto rammed his vehicle into a Grand Forks Police squad car and an FBI vehicle with two agents inside.
The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Grand Forks Police Department.
